they're bragging about not just the program, but its effect on the national elections. and that's because of republicans' vision and foresight in drawing the maps. so it's not like republicans are the only ones that have ever done this. but right now republicans are really psyched that they did this. for a very specific reason. they successfully tilted the playing field in their favor for these house races. it really, really paid off. but the way it would really, really pay off is what they would like to do next. they would now like to make that same tilted playing field that they tilted for the house, they would like to make that the same playing field on which we decide the presidency. the national chairman of the republican party reince priebus says he supports the idea of states changing their electoral college rules. the wisconsin governor, scott walker, says he is intrigued by this idea. the michigan governor, rick snyder, says he is open to talking about this idea. last night we reported on related news out of the state of virginia, the virginia state senate. vir
